Why Should He Love Me So?

November 20, 2016 (Sunday)
A gospel song that touches my heart every time I hear it is, “Why Should He Love Me So?” by Robert Harkness (1880-1961). Harkness was born in Australia. He was raised in a Christian home, but did not come to Christ until later. Before becoming a Christian, he was a great pianist. After playing for some evangelical services, the music director had a talk with him, informing him that he needed to be “born again.” The young man thought about what he had been told and accepted Christ as his personal Savior. He became a part of the evangelism team, and later wrote more than 2,000 hymns and gospel songs. The song for today’s blog is one of his greatest. It has blessed untold numbers of people through the years.
